Designing Organizations to
Create Value - From Strategy to Structure

James
Brickley, Clifford Smith and Jerold Zimmerman are all Professor of Business
Administration at the University of Rochester and have written numerous
books and articles.

In their book "Designing Organizations to Create Value"
(2003) they introduce an organizational framework with three highly
interrelated and critical processes to increase shareholder performance:

- decision-making,

- performance evaluation, and

- compensation.

Designing Organizations to Create Value
also
contains chapters on value strategy, value leadership and the critical role
of knowledge in organizations. For (top) executives being interested in
Value Based Management rather than technical valuation this is a highly
recommended introduction on Value Based Management.
